Once referred to as “The Oscars of the design world” by designer Tim Gosling, the Wow!house show house is a shining example of top design. After a dazzling inaugural year, the Wow!house is back to "wow" us once again. (Sorry, I had to!) The 18-room spectacular returns to Design Avenue at Design Centre Chelsea Harbor, Europe's largest design center, through July 6. Claire German, CEO of Design Centre Chelsea Harbor, gave the participating world-class designers carte blanche to decorate their rooms. In other words, these top creative minds were given full reign to let their imaginations fly. And trust me, they did not disappoint. The designers "have simultaneously embraced the finest examples of craft and the most inventive ideas about space and storytelling,” says German.
